Hot Pink as an Accent or Main Color in Your Bedroom

When it comes to bedroom decor, hot pink is no longer just for little girls. Mind you, pink bedrooms will never go out of fashion for girls of any age but I wanted to show you how you can add a pop of color that can completely change the look of a bedroom without being over the top. Using hot pink in the bedroom will make a plain room into a cheerful place to rest.

For easy ways to update and refresh a room the two areas to think about changing first are the bedding and the window drapes. You can create a whole new look without the expense of completely refurnishing. Here are some choices in bedroom decor that you can explore.

Adding hot pink to your bedroom

If you are anything like me, you will like making changes in the home. I like to be able to make a room look completely different with a few additions and changes. So I usually make sure I start off with a base of a color scheme in painting and decorating that is amenable to lots of different accents. For example, I like to have a plain color on the walls, something pale or pastel that can be used as a base to support more vibrant colors elsewhere in the room. The same with flooring. I do prefer floorboards and tiles but in the bedroom a plain colored carpet is just as nice. When you think about it, the floor and the walls are your two major areas of color – so think about those carefully in the very first instance. They you can swap and change as you like without having to start from scratch.

So what are the main color blocks in your bedroom (apart from the walls and floor?) They are the bed and the windows. Simply by changing bedding and curtains or other window dressing, maybe adding a pop of color in an accent – hey presto – you have a new room!

I think this is a great set for anyone who likes a sort of rustic look – mind you I think the pink lifts it out of the mundane don’t you?
It’s camo as you have never seen it before. These sets have a hot pink flash which will look great in any bedroom. Available in various sizes.

More Styles of Hot Pink Bedroom Sets

It’s always nice to get one-stop shopping options when it comes to redecorating your bedroom. Many companies are happy to provide matching bedding and curtains. These are the two big color areas in your bedroom.

Add hot pink animal prints for effect

As I said before, bedding and curtains are two of the major color scheme areas to consider when it comes to decorating and the joy of them is they can be changed easily and will have a huge impact on how your bedroom looks. Here I’ve picked out some matching suggestions. They are all tied into together by the pink zebra stripe or animal print theme – some just feature more than others. But what I wanted to show you with these is how you can complement each with the proper use of color – for example don’t you think the addition of a black outer curtain really adds drama to the window dressing? You can achieve the same effect by using black throws and throw pillows on the bed and chairs.

Dragonfly Decorative Theme Ideas

Ideas for creating the right dragonfly look by decorating the walls

Ceramic wall tiles

Dragonflies

For bathrooms and kitchens add some ceramic tiles in relevant places, for example, as splash-backs. Use only 2 or 3 decorated ones mixed in with plain colored ones for maximum effect. As you can see from just this small sample, you have no color restrictions to worry you. Pick your favorite tile then use the colors in it for background color and in decor accents for a dramatic effect.

Decorate and Paint with Dragonfly Colors – Choosing

You are spoilt for choose in dragonfly colors – some look simple, blue or green or red, but if you look at a lot of them you will see how many dragonflies have multiple colors and incidentally, different textures, which you can introduce into decorating ideas.

The colors. Just like butterflies, dragonflies come in range of colors from soft pastels to bold and vibrant colors. You can find dragonflies in red and pink, fuchsia and orange, blue and saffron, gold and emerald, black browns and every shared shade you can think of. Added to that the metallic sheen of some and you have plenty of colors to choose from for you color scheme. Dragonfly wings can be translucent, simply transparent or they may be colored, spotted or banded. Generally the ones with clear wings tend to have vibrant colors on their body and tail. This pretty little thing gives us loads of ideas. It has pinks, purples, red, orange and blue and metallic grey or blue in the wings.

Dragonflies have a delicate, ethereal look to them that lends well to a themed decor. Just echoing dragonfly tones against a pastel background creates a great effect. Pick out one of tbe contrasting jewelled metallic tones as a block color in curtains, throws or bedding to bring out the theme. Your carpeting can be somewhere in between your pastel walls and bold accents. You are gradually creating your room. And introduce different textures like satin and lace to represent alternately the body and wings.

For example, note how dragonfly here looks green but you will also note there is a red spot, subtle orange on the neck and the wings look dark. You could then paint the walls of your room a matching green and use red and orange accents – then introduce the texture of the wings with lace.

Many species change color as they mature, or may vary as the temperature changes. Females may be differently colored from males. All dragonflies emerge with barely any color, although hints of the adult pattern may be visible.

One of the most fascinating things about dragonflies and color is that they can appear to change color depending on the light. What may seem like transparent wings turn iridescent in sunlight.

Dragonfly themed decorative borders

For the walls

Once you decide to go for a dragonfly theme decor start off by picking base colors to build on. Look at pictures of dragonflies to pick out a color. It works best with a solid block color – a pastel shade that you would find in real dragonfly. For accent add a border featuring dragonflies either high up near the ceiling or at dado height.

How to Decorate your Bedroom in Orange, Tangerine and Nectarine

If there’s a color that is popular right now, it’s orange, and it can add a real pop when you use it to decorate a bedroom. Of course, there are lots of shades of orange from very pale to rich and deep. Which you decide on is up to you, and here I’ve tried to include a range using tangerine and orange as the main colors to help you choose.

Orange is a vibrant, rich and cheerful color that really stands out, so the first thing you should decide is just how much you need to create your own look. Start by thinking of the main or biggest areas that need filling — walls and floor coverings, curtains and bedding are the major focal points in a bedroom. You probably already have the floor and wall colors in place, and if you’ve been wise, you’ve chosen neutral colors that will form a solid base for implementing any color changes elsewhere that you might want to make.

What I’ve done here is pick out things you can choose to put together orange bedroom decor. You’ll find suggestions that include orange bedding, curtains and rugs and some accent ideas. Be sure to check out my other orange tangerine pages which include some other suggestions you might like to work into your new-look bedroom, such as throws and throw pillows and some delicious orange wall art.

Orange Bedding

Lux Decor Collection 8-Piece Comforter Set with White Stripes

In term of color blocks, your bed takes up quite a bit of space in your bedroom so if you use the bedding properly, you can create a real wow factor.

This luxury bedding set is ideal for adding a huge block of color to your room. The vibrant orange is broken up very effectively by white stripes. This set includes a comforter and bedskirt, 2 pillow and 2 shams, a bolster and decorative pillow to complete the effect. Made from easy-care polyester this one is completely machine washable but use a cold wash to preserve the rich color.

Tangerine Curtains

Covering the windows is another of those large blocks of color I was talking about earlier. As usual, there are lots of decisions depending on your needs and your taste. Do you need curtains for privacy and that cut out light and drafts and keep heat in, or could you get away with using something completely decorative?

Use sheer curtains to create an ethereal look. Here you can use the two panels to dress the window in a number of ways, just use your imagination and creative flare. Each of these panels measures 60 inches by 84 inches, plenty for most windows.

Orange Wall Decor

Add orange decor accents using peel and stick wall decals. These are inexpensive and easy to apply and if you want to change them, they peel off without leaving any marks. There are lots of different designs and styles to choose from depending on your taste. Or choose clocks, metal wall art and more to add interest to your room.
